    Paranasal Sinuses: Anatomy and Function

    Uploaded by

    Lavanya Kalapala
    The document provides an overview of the anatomy and function of the paranasal sinuses. It describes the 7 bones, 4 paired sinuses, 4 turbinates, and drainage system involved. It then focuses on the maxillary sinus, including its development from birth, structure with walls/floor/roof, and microscopic anatomy of the mucosa with ciliated and basal columnar cells, goblet cells, and submucosal glands. The mucous blanket that lines the sinuses is described as having two layers that trap bacteria and particulate matter. Finally, the functions of the paranasal sinuses are listed as humidifying and warming air, regulating intranasal pressure, increasing surface area for smell, light
